A few grains would, I believe., be sufficient, and a drachm contains 60 grains. I hirce doubt 'that more than one drachm was taken by deco. ed . ; Robert Crowhurst, shopkeeper at Burwasl3 Mrs. Russell came to his shop about a month before dat ased's death; but he does not recollect what she b0t.4 , 1 . He went to her on the 10th of May, and asked her it she's& collected how long it was since He was in Le 4op, and she replied, " as near its, she could reeolits, about a Month :" and in reply to aq s‘ uestion as to ot she had bought, she said, " the stuff I bought at ;-- p, gave to the mice, and threw the rest islo fire."— When I sell poison, I - always write thsz. -rd on the paper; she made no hesitation in saying s stuff she bought she gave to mice. The fact of Mrs. Russell having poison for mice, from Cle last witness, was proved by two persons Who were present. `- Ann - Hicks; niece of the deceased, was at Benjamin 'Russell's house, and prisoner (Russell) was expecting her husband home, and was angry that he was not come, and said that she would cut his throat, break his head, or poi• son him; she (prisoner) believed he was gone along with another woman; thought these words were only the threats of an angry woman, and did not take any notice of them ; has seen deceased and prisoner since together at their house. Robert Ellis, headborough of Hawkesborough, had Leany in custody on the Sth of May, and was discharged in the evening. On Tuesday I went to take him in cus tody on this charge. Hannah Russell was there, and Leany was sitting close to her. He remained in his cus tody until Thursday. He said, if so be he was sent to jail, nobody could swear that either he or Hannah poi soned him (deceased). He was counnitted on the 16th of May, and on the 17th, as I was going to Horsham with both the prisoners, Leany said to Mrs. Russell, "Don't you say any thing. If you dOn't, nobody else can. Mrs. Russell said, " I'll try and clear myself." Witness vms close by the cart in which they were riding.

The common usage of excluding from the benefit of Life As surance, or exposing to a forfeiture of their policies, individuals who may have been afflicted with " Gout, asthma, rupture, fits, hemorrhage, complaints of the liver, spitting of blood, vertigo, or any other disease,'.' being liable to become& source of fraud on the one hand, and of litigation on the other ; this Society, in order to remove every pretence for deceit or fraudulent concealment, re speetinttlie actual state of health of the assurcd, extends the ad- Aaritai*sf Li**Aeisurallt . to sn* . zt to curl deviations from thtt ottani - on standard of health, aid° not materially tend to shortenlife, on their paying a tnoderate addition to the premium, proportioned to the increase of hazard. One half of the Board of Directors being Members of the Me dical Proleasion, the attendance of such a body of eminent practi tioners, on every occasion of granting no Assurance, forms a dis tinguished safeguard, which cannot fail to be beneficial, both to the assured and to the Society. Persons proposing for assurance may arrange to pay their pre miums either in a single payment—by annual payments for a limited number of years only—or by annual payments through out the whole continuance of life. The savage complacency with which he screwed them up, allowed that he was now in his element. At every turn of the screw, the cracking of the bones became louder, and the blood gushed out at the tops of the thumbs in greater quantity ; and as they, splin texed into pieces one after another, the very marrow flew from them, and besmeared the tormentor himself. Still he proceeded, and watched the eyes and countenance of the youth with that kind of delight that an anatomist, who is trying an experiment, feels at the discovery of some important truth, or rather it was the grafi- , fieation of the tiger when lie bolds fast in his claws hie expirir.g victim, and sees his last agonies. At the excruciating pain, the unhappy youth's eyes filled with tears, but not a groan nor a sigh escaped his lips. Firm in his resolution to breathe his last, rather than utter a falsehood to save himself, every time Artimana inter rogated him, he repeated his first assertion with that undaunted courage peculiar to innocence, till at last his tormentor, having satiated his cruelty, gave up this mode of interrogatory, but sent his victim with an escort to the Inquisition, where, he said, he had no doubt, his obduracy would'be conquered. Sandoval, who felt the utmost astonishment at the two first cases, which he,thought nothing.ienhl equal in absurdity and price, 'hardly knew bow to contain his indignation at the wanton barbarity of the third. He looked around him to observe if there were no others iu the room, who sympathising with him, would rush forward to snatch the prey from the monster's hands; but instead of compassion, he saw terror depicted in the countenances of some, and satisfaction in those of others, while his own motions were watched by a great number in a manner, that would have rendered his interference useless to the youth, and fatal to himself. Compelled, therefore, to remain in his place, he waited impa tiently, until his name should be called, which was done as soon as the young man was removed from the hall, when he advanced before his judge with en air of bold defiance. His lofty and manly gait, and the quick penetrating glance of his eyes, seemed to throw around him a sort of spell, which kept the spectators breathless and immovable, and seemed to snake Ar timana shrink into his chair, impressed with an irresistible feeling of awe, as if conscious of the presence of a superior being. Hav ing remained some instants looking fixedly at his judge, Sandoval broke the deep silence which reigned in the hail, and demanded in &commanding voice to know for what purpose he had been de sired to present himself there. "I think . . there is a mistake . .. " muttered the Comisionado hesitatingly, rummaging some of the papers that lay on the table, and now and then casting fearful looks towards a door in the hall, that stood ajar.—" I can find no charge against you .. . you are acquitted," addad he still in a teem bling voice. Sandoval smiled scornfully, on him, and without a sword more, walked out of the office with a firm step, casting a contemptuous look on the awe-struck multitude, who followed him with their eyes, as if it had been an apparition, gliding through the hall.

S vols. It is not one of the least important inventions of the age, to employ novels as the vehicle of every kind, of instruction. We thus have introduced into our drawing-room, what in other times would only have afforded dry matter suited to the study or the lecture room. We now acquire from our novels, not only our knowledge of life and manners, but of history and antiquities, of religion and metaphysics ; and we do not despair of seeing soon announced some argumen tative tales on the atomic theory, or some algebraical romances. The work before us is, in fact, something in the style we allude to ; it is seriously a political novel: net merely a novel founded on historical events, and developing with accurate and unsparing impar tiality the characters of the opposing parties,—but a tale written obviously under the excitement of strong feelings in behalf of a political cause, and with an evi dently vehement desire on the part of the writer, to kindle and cherish similar feelings in the minds of his readers. s.t.ruan.ty. On Friday evening Mr. Baron Graham, in passing sen tence on. Hannah Ruslell and Benjwain Leany, for the wil ful murder of Benjamin Russell, had, in the anxiety' of tile moment, omitted to fix the day for their execution. They were therefore put to the bar again this morning, when his Lordship fixed their doom for Monday; at Horsham. Since the conviction, we understand that Mr. Baron Grahath has entertained some doubt of the piopriety of the verdict as to the female culprit, inasmuch as she was charged by the indlcunent as a principal in the first degree, whereas, from the evidence, it did not appear that' she was present aiding and abetting the alleged murder. On this ground, it is understood that the woman is to be re spited, in order to a more advised consideration of the case. In the course of this morning, it was currently reported that the wretched culprits ?uid made a full confession of their guilt, and that they had Ifiministered the poison in the house of the deceased, at Bur;"ash, and after it 'had taken effect, had carried the body to the place where it was found, in the parish of Brightling. Upon the whole, we home read this novel with much pleasure, and we doubt not our readers will do the same. We ought not to omit that in the character of Roque, the hero's servant, considerable humour is evinced : he really reminds us occasionally of the in imitable Sancho; whilst his master may not be unaptly compared to a political Quixote, whose Dulcmea is liberty : at least we fear his expectations are as little realized as those of his illustrious prede cessor.

Of course, all the heroism, goodness, beauty, suf fering, love, gallantry, and true religion, is on the side of the patriots, among whom the hero plays a prominent part ; and equally, of course, dishonour, knavery, deformity, cruelty, hypocrisy, and every other possible bad ,quality, are found in unmixed malignity in every , one of the opposite faction ; not that we are at all inclined to question the truth of the author's general representation of the state of the Spanish people, or of the general character which has stamped the proceedings of both the contending parties. We only mean to observe, that his object is to make his novel the instrument of supporting ex clusively one party, and not to make both parties im partially afford materials for his novel. In the execution of the work considerable power is displayed. The Author, we think, succeeds admir ably in giving a truly and exclusively Spanish air to all his descriptions ; whether of scenery, manners, or character, the subject and the period are such as to af ford abundant opportunities for varied and striking cident, of which certainly the Author has taken due advantage. We are presented with many good repre sentations of the scenes which such a series of events would naturally disclose, touched with a masterly and vigorous pencil. Thus we have the head quarters of the constitutional army ; the dungeons. of the inquisi tion ; the arcana of a nunnery ; the ceremony of taking the veil ; a Sp an i s h j a il ; d e li g h t f u l s k etc h es of rural scenery ; in short almost every variety of Spanish life and manners, mixed up with a story which, without an y great depth of plot, sustains a constant interest. The hero Sandoval is a fine spirited youth, heroi cally devoted to the constitutional cause, in ad- herence to which his father has suffered banishment and confiscation. He of course goes through a due series of adventures and misfortunes ; whilst his fair lady. Gabriela is exposed to scarcely less (Imagers from priests and th e bi gotry o f h er re l a the ton artifices of th the e titl e of the bi)ok we expected to have been initiated into some of the mysteries of Freemasonry, but we are disappointed ; of that system very little meetion is made, it merely appears as in sonic in stances affording a bond of union and means of com munication to the C o nstitutionalists. We have not room for many extracts, but we Will present our readers with th e f o llowing description of the administration of justice : As our hero entered do court, the eyes of those who happened to be al his line of march Were immediately turned upon him with "" t of savage satisfaction, mingled with strong curiosity.

It falls under tht late decree of his Ma jesty, in which it is expressly forbidden to laymen to wear un derneath their hats the black silk cap, that became so fashionable during the late disorganizing governinent, and which, as the decree expresses it, was intended as au encrotalmtent on the rights of the clergy; the said cap having, from time immemorial, been made use of exclusively by the holy miaisters of the church, to cover their sacerdotal perieraniums.' " " Your Senoria takes me quite by smprise," said the elderly 1 gentleman, " for I assure you I was not aware of the existence of such a law. I have worn is black cap for these ten years past ; not for the sake of fashion, but because, being nearly bald, I found it a very comfortable substitute for the want of a natural covering, particularly in foggy and damp weather, when I am always in the habit cf pulling it overh ears to keep them warm; for which purpose, I assure you, Solaria, it answers admirably." Artimana frowned darkly at this speech. "By the frivolous manner in which you speak," said l j, " I should not at all be surrised if von were the first tai lr; Ober% ,tie Perukiuml ex ample of wearing that tap, and:ll 4:1 suthor of such a kitten, crime, I know of no punishment bad enough to expiate it.—Take him away to prison," added he, addressing himself to sense of the armed guards, who were in the.room, and let him be Ant up in solitary confinement, till the will of his Majesty, the King, our lord and sovereign, b e made I tu o ttm t o its." The gentleman made an attempt to speak, but the guards in stantly colleted him, and dragged him out of the hall. A mi nute after a savage shout of. approbation from the rabble in the court put the seal to this case. His Senoria now called aloud the name of another gentleman, who eat in a corner of the room, and who advanced at the sum mons of his . udge-..." I have been informed," said his Senoria, " that yesterday, in going in your carriage to the promenade, you met a clergyman tarrying the saaament to a sick pencil?, and disregarding the established usages, by which you were in duty bound to alight front your carriage, and humbly give up your seat to that holy minister of God, you continued your way without even making him a tender of it. fly this scandalous conduct, you were guilty of a twofold offence, being uumindful not only of a religions duty, but of the example set to us, and to the world by our beloved sovereign, who on similar occasions does not disdain to walk on foot beside his own carriage, as every true christian ought, till 'the clergyman reaches the house where he is going to administer the sacrament. As this is a crime very much-reprobated by his Majesty, and as instances of it are but too common in our days, I 'shall condemn you to the loss of your carriage and horses, which must he sold for the benefit of the church ; but being informed that this is your first offence, I shall not compel you to pay any fine in money." The gentleman said, in his defence, that he had not alighted (as it had been his wish) because his wife, who was then in the carriage with her babe in her arms, and also another eon, were in a very precarious state of health, and unable to walk far ; to which Artinutna returned the following laconic, but feeling au swer—" Sir, your duty to God ought to be paramount not only to your child's life, hut to your own; and to that of every mem ber of your family either past, present, or to come." " Amen," cried i voice in the hall, which was followed by a burst of laughter among the spectators ; but which so kindled the passion of his Senoria, that he started up from his seat, and said, his teeth clattering like a pair of castanets—" Lithe name of the King, I condemn to tett years presidioa the insolent person who has thus endeavoured to throw x ridicule on the proceedings of this august tribunal. Let him now apter before me." At these words an old woman, mot , t raggedly dressed, andhold ing a rosary in her hands, stept forwqd and said she would apo logize for having uttered that word*l during her prayers, if it were required for the sake ofjuA4tH , 4 . "'gut," added she, " I sup'. poSetheii.still be no neteasityMtutt, Shen you see it wall' your own mother who said it, though since your nomination to the post of Conditioned°, you have behaved to me in such a scandalous manner (ties.ting use like an old slipper, and disowning me in public, as if people knew not you were my son) that perhaps you may wish to carry your sentence into execution." "Away with that mad woman," cried Artimana, bursting with lassion, "take her to a mad house, and let me see uo more of ter." " Ungrateful wretch," cried she indignantly, " think'st thou people will not hate thee the more for repaying all my cares with ingratitude, though lam poor and aged ? Ay, and think thee a • deeper villain too ? The curse of heaven and of man will fall on thy head for thy wicked deeds sooner than thou art aware of." Artitnana's face became livid with passion, and be waved his band, unable to utter a word ; till his mother was carried away by some of his minions, when he sunk into his chair, and with a sort of groan, called for the next case, which was still more ex traordinary than either of the two preceding. A young man, who had just arrived front England, bad brought away, among other books, the "Elegant Extracts," the title-page of which runs thus Elegant Extracts, selected for the improvement of Young Persons." On his arrival at !run; on the Spanish frontier, the priest, commissioned by the Inquisition to examine the books that are imported from foreign countries, in comparing the title-page of the works belonging to the travel lers, with the names of those comprised in the index expurgate riyi furnished hint by the holy tribunal, found the one above mentioned, and threw it aside to be burnt, because, as he said, " those were the damnable writings of the heretical end sacrile gious Young, whose name was marked down on his list." In vain did the youth endeavour to prove that those vo lumes which be condemned as the productions of Young were only extracts, or a selection of useful matter from dif ferent authors, for the improvement of young persons ; the priest, with that charaeteristic pertinacity which belongs to ignorance, insisted that the title-page said Young, and that that was enough for him to have the books burnt, w hich was accordingly done.— The youth, however, could not help smiling at the gross igno rance displayed by the priest, and even ventured to compare the justice of the auto-da-fe made of his harmless books, to those per formed in former days, by Father Torrequemada, and his fellow :hampions of the faith, on their innocent victims. This sally did not pass unnoticed or tmforgiven by that learned priest, who immediately wrote to the Comisionado Regio of Lograno, the place to which the young man was proceeding, requesting his Senoria to question him closely, as he suspected he had been smuggling into Spain heretical works from England. In fact, on his arrival at his native city, he seas arrested and examined ; but declared be had brought only those which had been burnt, and a few snore that did not come withist-the pale of the sacred index. The Comisionado, however, not being satisfied with this declatst, tiou, had sent him to prison, from which be was now brought to the court, to undergo another examination. Artirnana, whose mind, though callous to the voice of con science, was extremely alive to the ridicule of the world, which he conceived his mother's exposure Was greatly calculated to raise, sat immovable in his chair, with one hand on the table firmly dosed, and the other thrust into his waistcoat, darkly glancing about the room, to discover if an impression of merriment was any where visible. " Well !" said he, with a savage look, as the young man 1 above mentioned came before him, " do you still persist in deny ing the well known fart of having introduced into this country English works, containing most pernicious doctrines on religion and government?" " As long as such a fact remains unproved," replied the youth , fearlessly, " I must persist in doing so. This I declared during my former examination, and shall continue to declare while the fear of offending my Creator holds a place i n m y h eart r " I thought, said his Senoria, " that • a week's imprisonment would hav e su ffi ce d t o ma ke you confess the truth ; but I see you h ave v i s i ted the country of the heretics to some purpose, you have at all events acquired their impious obduracy of character in denying truths as palpable as the gospels. But we shall see if your acquirements can withstand other proofs—approach." The young man obeyed, and Artintana drew front the table drawer near him, a thumb-screw, of which there were several of different sizes, and into which he put the young Mart 11 thembe4. * The galleys.

For this fact, many gentlemen at present in this country, among whom the au thor himself is one, ran vouch, having been eye-witnesses of these barbarities. Hannah Russell was indicted for wilfully, feloniously, and traitorously, and of her malice aforNoilaht, Benjamin Russell, her late husband, by administering to him a quantity of arsenic, at Brightling on the gth of :May hut.; and D. Lamy was, indicted as an accessory to the same murder. The case excited an uncommon degree of interest. The Court was crowded to excess with both sexes during the whole trial, which lasted nearly 12 hours. The female prisoner, who appeared to be about 40 years of age, was, in fact, only 31; and the man, who appeared to be about 30, was in reality but 19. Both were persons of ill favoured aspect, and in the lowest condition of fife. Mr. Andrews, with whom was Mr. Darby, stated the case for , the prosecution at considerable length. He opened it as a case depending entirely upon circumstantial evi dence, and invited the most serious and anxious attention of the Jury to an enquiry so fearful in its probable result to the prisoners. Wm. Russell, the father of the deceased, saw him alive at his own house in the evening of Sunday, the 7th of May. He was cheerful, and in good spirits. Witness lived about a quarter of a mile from his son's house in the same parish of Burwash. On the Monday morning, about one o'clock, he was aroused from his sleep by some dirt been thrown at his window. He got up, and opened the easement ; it was dark. The female prisoner was outside, and desired him , to come down, and let her in. She said that Benjamin) son, had drops down in a tit, or was dead. The other prisoner, who was, immediately behind her, said the same thing. They appeared to have come together, and wished witness to help to get Benja min home. Witness dressed himself immediately, and accompanied Leany about three miles into the parish of Brightling, and Leany brought him a foot-path, where they found the deceased lying stretched on his back. He was then _dead, cold, and stiff. His clothes were on, and there was a handkerchief tied round his, body. The spot was not far from the house of a Mr. Holloway, a farmer, about 60 or '7O rods from Gleddish-wood. The deceased was lying stretched out on his back straight, the hands close to the body. The prisoner Leany then said, that he and the deceased had ucen stealing sortie corn from Mr. Holloway's barn, and had divided it into two parcels. The sack which the deceased wa s carrying was the heaviest, and he complained of apain in his heart at the time. The prisoner then offered totake a turn of his load. The deceased declined, and advanced up the field with the load on his back, and prisoner, on coming up to him, found him dead, but he did not know whether he had dropped down in a tit, or died a natural death. It was then so dark that witness could not see the dress of the deceased minutely. Witness and Leany then moved the body into Gleddish-wood, and placed it on some oak gratton, or stubble. Witness's motive for so doing was to , hide the shame of a transaction in which the character of his family might be injur ed, by its being discovered that a son of his had been guilty of a robbery. Witness did not know the cause of Ms son's death until the following Wednesday, when the Coroner's inquest was held. When exit _ mined before the inquest, he did not give the same account of the transaction which he now did, because he understood that those who helped to move the body Would share the same fate as those by whom the deceased was poisoned.

John Pratt was indicted for havini, 't found in this country before a term of fourteen years' transportation, to which he had been sentenced,' had expired. It appeared that the prisoner was convicted in 1818, at the Durham Assizes, of having had counterfeited Bank of England notes in his possession, and had been sentenced to fourteen years' transportation. In his way feom the Court to the Old Prison, which were at some distance from each other, he snapped the hand cuff, and escaped.

Mr. Baron Bullock said, he would take care to com municate his good character to the proper quarter. HEREFORD, FRIDAY, JULY 28. ADDIS V. HARRIS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff for the re covery of the price of a horse, which he had bought from the plaintiff under a warranty of soundness, and it ulti mately appeared that the horse was labouting under a dis ease which caused its death soon after.

The plaintiff, Mr. Row ' skill ' e, is a gentleman of considerable . in raining affairs. In 1814 he Nvas the proprietor of an estate called Lewellan, part of the manor of Tewington, in Cornwall. The manor was the property of a Mr. Rashlei who been sold p urchased it in 1708, it havin under t provisions of the Land Tax Rede m ption Act. g In 1820, a vein of copper ore was discoveredon the estate, as Mr. Rowe contends by him, though d o merit of the discovery is denied him by his opponents. Its value, however, is immensc—intleed it is believed that the ore already obtained is worth upwards of 200,00ti1. Such a dis covery naturally attracted the attention of his neighbours, Th e y seized the ore in ques and particularly of those who had any connexion with the i n tin form of an action of property. Among them was K company of miners, called the East Crinnis AilventureN, with whom Mr. person .who was chiefly active Rashleigh was connected* tion, and left Mr. rtovve to commence his action to try property, the soil being his, he was tt th :o i ver r in ig a h pga t e . rtinys T tb h ne i i s ruegy h t e teno, : p li yt , t i hu t t o t a b l e !.
